11. 0001855  Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___
             SV-AC  issues with 22.10 after 1722
             duplicate

13. 0001804  Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___
             SV-AC  Add abiltiy to require equiv types for typed formal args
             Voice vote on 2007-08-07 not to address this since lint tools can
             check such conditions

17. 0001737  Yes ___ No _X_ Abstain ___
             SV-AC  Incomplete fix from 1381
             Resolved by e-mail ballot on 2007-05-28, 7y/0n/4a

    JH justification:

    This proposal has not been properly colored to show which parts of the
    existing text should be retained and which stricken.


    JH friendly amendments:

    1. I think that "The enabling condition assumed from the context" should
       be "The enabling condition inferred from the context".

    2. I think that "assert property", "assume property", and "cover property" 
       should be in bold Courier as compound keywords.

    3. The LRM is moving to a style in which non-terminals of the syntax are
       referenced in italics, preserving underscores, rather than Courier.
       This affects "property_expr" and "property_spec".

    4. The font of "case" in "Similarly, the enabling condition is also inferred
       from case statements" should be bold Courier.

    5. 1768 has already been approved.  I think that this proposal should be
       updated to explain inferred enabling conditions for "cover sequence".  I
       think that ##0 should be used for this since the negation dual
       formulation for "cover property" will not be legal syntax.  This will
       also require some reworking of various places that talk about
       property_expr and property_spec to be inclusive of the body of a "cover
       sequence", which may have a "disable iff" clause, but for which there is
       not an analogous non-terminal "sequence_spec".  And the examples may want
       to illustrate the inference for "cover sequence".

    6. The proposal has been crafted carefully so that the transformation inserts
       the inferred enabling condition after any "disable iff" clause, but this
       may be a bit too subtle for readers.  Consider mentioning this point,
       perhaps with an example.


18. 0001731  Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___
             SV-AC  Sampled value functions with arbitrary clocks
             Passed by e-mail ballot 2007-07-03, 9y/0n/2a

    JH friendly amendments:

    1. The added text in Clause 16 and Annex F needs to be in blue.

    2. The example in 16.8.3 should use Courier font.  For example, I see the
       first word "bit" in a bold Roman font.  The other bold words are the same
       way.  And "&&" is not in Courier.  I'm not sure about the punctuations
       (",", ";").  The source of the proposal may be using an obscure or
       variant font.  I recommend switching to a more common font.

    3. In the paragraph after the example in 16.8.3, the font is not consistent
       in referencing identifiers from the example.  They should all be in
       Courier.

    4. In the new section F.2.3.6, the deprecated form "sampled(e,c)" should not
       appear.

    5. In the new section F.2.3.6, Courier font should be used for terminals,
       such as "1", "0", punctuations (",", ";"), parentheses, "&&", and "=".

    6. In the new text in F.4.2, Courier font should be used for terminals in
       the sequence expression, such as parentheses, "&&", "##1", brackets, etc.

    7. I think that the more precise language from 1550 with cross references
       should be used in F.4.2 to discuss the case when $past looks back too far
       and the initial values are used.


20. 0001681  Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___
             SV-AC  Introduce global clocking
             New proposal was uploaded - redoing email vote (didn't reach quorum)

29. 0001383  Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___
             SV-AC  Property coverage definition
             Duplicate of 805

    JH comment:  

    SV-AC still need to vote on the state change to "resolved,won't fix".  This
    is another process mistake for which I am to blame.  Approval by the
    Champions should be conditional on the SV-AC vote.
